Historically, Cantonese was the many popular shape of Chinese spoken by overseas Chinese communities in the Western planet, although that condition has changed with all the improving value of Mandarin in the Chinese-speaking planet and also immigration to the West from alternative nations plus alternative components of China.

Cantonese is commonly called a spoken dialect, and not as a created dialect. Spoken vernacular Cantonese differs from contemporary created Chinese, that is basically formal Standard Mandarin in created shape. Written Chinese spoken word for word sounds overly formal and distant in Cantonese. As a outcome, the need of getting a created script which matched the spoken shape improved over time. This resulted in the creation of extra Chinese characters to complement the existing characters. Many of these represent phonological sounds not present in Mandarin. A advantageous source for effectively recorded Cantonese words is found in drama and opera (daai hei) scripts. Written Cantonese is mostly incomprehensible to non-Cantonese speakers because created Cantonese is based on spoken Cantonese that is different from Standard Mandarin in grammar and vocabulary.
